Extract file properties

[Azrael]

Hello,
I'm working on a music player project on Ubuntu. I was wondering if there's a way , using wxWidgets, to extract data from an mp3 file saved on my computer. I need to extract it and use it to initialize objects in my program.
This is what i'm talking about:



I think what i'm searching for is called metadata( i'm not sure though).

Thank you

There is nothing for this in wxWidgets.

If you only need a solution for Linux, i'd try to find a command line tool that outputs this information (According to Google, ffprobe could be an option https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html ) and parse this from inside your application.

Taglib is a small, easy to use library that will let you do this.
